    I'm Yours by Jason Mratz. Hate it with a passion.

    I only hear ever one song by the script on the radio, they had one hit.some songs are just overplayed by certain radio stations. Any Jon Bon Jovi song. I like Dido, she has a beautiful voice and she pronounces every word clearly.
    No one should play bobby goldsboro, s song Honey, ever again unless as a joke.
    Gilbert ó, Sullivans song Clare.
    It just sounds weird now. About a 12 year old being in love with her uncle.

    No man. It was defo late summer 96. I can be certain of that because I got my LC results at the time.


    I believe he died a few years back.

    You are right . 1995 and 1996 are kinda like a blur to me, two great years back to back . I did put “ish” at the Nd of 1995 as I wasn’t too certain

    Things went bang and wallop in 1997 - end of Brit Pop, Fr Ted etc. Things got a bit meh and Spice Girls really took over along with that fat dancer from Take That

    There was a definite dip in quality from 1996 onwards. 1995 was an excellant year for music but from 1996 onwards there has been a downward slide save for the few exceptions here and there.

    You're beautiful: James Blunt.

    Galway Girl, Fields Of Athenry, Ireland's Call.
    Any Provo song.

    Anything by AC Dc - over played on juke boxes in bogger bars

    ..
    In the air tonight - Phil Collins (most of his tunes bar the cheesy Easy Lover - that’s actually good )

    Enya - the amount of RnB and hip hop punks who sampled her Whale music is crazy (likewise the above Phil Collins tune )
    Overplayed songs in general.

    Santana - Smooth. Great song but so overplayed I'll need another decade or two before I can hear it again.

    Easy Lover, think of it as a Philip Bailey song and you can consign Phil to the dust bin where he belongs.

    Enya - I don't like samples and just ignore them. They make me like the original better.

    Galway Girl, - overplayed

    Ireland's Call. - a song both sides can hate equally and with good reason, bland as f***



    Fields Of Athenry - The only good version is the Century Steel Band one where they use the tra la la from the Banana Splits in the chorus.

    The problem is that radio stations have a set list.

    Let's play something from guns'n'roses so "Sweet child of mine" gets played ( I'm a huge gnr fan and there are much better songs than this).

    The Cars, so "Drive" gets played, what's wrong with heart beat city.

    I stopped listening to commercial radio year's ago so don't care what never gets played again, I won't be hearing it.

    God I listened to the radio one Saturday night as I was driving. Never ever again :(

    1997 was the second best year in the 90's. So many great albums.

    I absolutely cannot stand the sound of Dermot Kennedy's voice,so ANY song of his is a song I never want to hear again.


    Add Tom Grennan to that category too.

    Siúl leat, siúl leat, le dóchas i do chroí, is ní shiúlfaidh tú i d'aonar go deo.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,762 ✭✭✭✭dubstarr


    Madonna Vogue,i love Madonna but i hate that song.Its the only song that gets played on the radio.She has much better songs.


    Any Van Morrison song,he just sounds so miserable.


    Hotel California is doing the rounds on Classic at the minute.I would rather cut my ears off than listen to it again.

    anything by David Gray

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,992 ✭✭✭DavyD_83


    Tonight's gonna be a goo-ood night!

    I hate it so much. On the up side haven't heard it in ages, but at a certain point in time it felt like i couldn't get through a day without hearing it

    +1, can’t stand them. The best way to sum up the sound would be if you let an owl loose in a wind chime shop



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,132 ✭✭✭✭is_that_so


    Don't listen to music radio any more, music is now more of a set of playlists so you can still throw these kinds of songs into random mixes and be occasionally surprised by them.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,639 ✭✭✭completedit


    Hate Dermot Kennedy's voice. Some of his songs are okay on first listen but then become so jarring.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,811 ✭✭✭thesultan


    Manic 2000

    @Capt'n Midnight "Fields Of Athenry - The only good version is the Century Steel Band one where they use the tra la la from the Banana Splits in the chorus."

    Even a ska vibe can't rehabilitate that god-awful dirge.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,184 ✭✭✭85603


    We could be lifted.

    Spicegirls.

    Chombawomba.

    All Robbie Williams.

    All M people.

    All Bon Jovi. Oh god does Bon Jovi stink. (shudder).



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,350 ✭✭✭Hangdogroad


    Whitney Houston, I Will Always Love You. Hate it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,916 ✭✭✭Sgt Hartman


    You get what you give by The New Radicals - A one hit wonder tune that's been played to death since 1998.

    Also A girl like you before by Edwyn Collins - Played to death since 1995

    "The Key the Secret" by Urban Cookie Collective. I worked in nightclubs around the time and I heard it all the time. When I stopped working in them I thought I would never hear it again. Unfortunately it gets plaid on oldie stations now, while I don't listen to such stations the amount of places playing radio is quiet high so I still hear it regularly enough some 25+ years later.
